Be it known that I, JOSEPH 1B. HALL, of

Chicago, llllinois, have invented a new and useful Liquid-Dispenser, of which the following description and claims are a specifiation, like letters and figures referring to like parts throughout the several views.

My invention relates to that class of liquid dispensers which have their delivery orifices in their upper parts and are operated by tilting and the object of my invention is.to provide a simple non-clogging andnon-dripping form thereof. 4

. The dispenser consists of a tiltable holder of liquid, pivoted to a support and provided with. a nozzle constructed in such manner as to attain my object. The nozzle in its simplest form has a hole for the emission of from the end thereof. With liquids inclined to foam or suds,. such as liquid toilet soap,

it is desirable to have a recess in eitheror both ofthe projections, which recess is so shaped as to permit the bubble or bubbles to rise and rest therein and not flow out with the liquid, for if they do the liquid will drip over the nozzle and holder.

1 attain my objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings in whicli Figure 1 is a sectional view on line A-A of Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a view looking downward, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the holder in a tilted position, of a dispenser for delivering liquid toilet soap of the present preferred form. Fig. 4 is a view looking downward and Fig. 5 is a section on line lB-B of Fig. 4 of the simplest form of nozzle. Fig.

6 is a view looking downward and Fig. 7 is a section on line G-C of Fig. 6 of a nozzle having a recess in the long projection for the purpose of intercepting bubbles. Fig. 8 is a view looking downward, and Fig. 9 is a section on line D-D of Fig. 8 of a nozzle having a recess in the short projection. Fig. 10 is a view looking downward and Fig. 11 is a section on line EE of Fig. 10. of a nozzle having recesses in both pro jections. Fig. 12 is a view looking downward and Fig. 13 is a section on line F-F.

of Fig. 12 showing a nozzle of which the short projection is integral with the holder in the, form of a boss thereon and the long projection and hole being comprised in a plug fitting into the boss. Fig. 14 is a view looking downward and Fig. 15 is a section on line GG of Fig. 14 of a nozzle similar to Figs. 12 and 13, one wall of the hole being the inner wall of the boss the othen part of the hole beinga recess in the side of the In Figs. ,1, 2 and 3, plate 1 may be fixed to a wall 2 or elsewhere by screw 3 passing through support 4 and kept from being turned by screw 5. Lugs 6 of plate 1 prevent support 4 from being turned. Support 4 has pivots 7 projecting into holder 8, whic h holder is prevented from being tilted too far or in the. wrong direction by recess 9 in the holder 8, and pin 10 on support 4, which pin -10 engages in the recess 9. Holder 8 has re cess 11 to permit the finger tips to press the horizontal surfacethereof for the purpose of tilting the holder. In the present commercial form, the holder 8 is of glass and to prevent shock likely to break same the pins 7 and 10 may have bushings 12, 13 of hard rubber or other more or less resilient material. The nozzle 21 consistsof a main partwhich has a T shaped bottom 49 which is of such shape to pass through the hole in the upper part of the holder 8 and afterbeing placed in its normal position nozzle 21 has threaded upon it a washer 14 with packings 15 preferably of cotton felt saturated with paraffin or ozocerite, and is thus firmly fixed to the holder 8. The hole 17 in the nozzle 21 is at theiend of a recess in nozzle 21, plug 18 forming one of the walls of said hole. Plug 18 threads into nozzle 16 and is provided with a' slot 19 for application of a screw driver, for removing same. Recess 20 is annular, but may be a slot, and is for the purpose of preventing bubbles. Each time the holder is tilted asshown in Fig. 3 a small amount of liquid will flow through hole 17 I and pass along wall of the nozzle 21 which is the equivalent of the short projection-herein menti0ned,and the liquid transfers itself from this wall which is on thelower side 22 to the end of plug 18 which is the equivalent of the long projection and drops ofl the end thereof as shown at 23. When the holder is shown as 2 1 and the short allowed to assume its normal position as shown in Fig. 1 any surplus liquid will flow down the side 22 of plug 18 and return through hole 17 to the holder 8 without dripping over the exterior of the dispenser. Filling of the holder is accomplished by unscrewing plug 18, pouring in liquid and replacing plug '18; other means of filling may be supplied and the hole 17, projections 21, 22, recess 20, may be integral with the rest of the nozzle and holder i. 6. made in one piece.

In Figs. 4 to 11 the long projection is projection is shown as- 25. The hole is indicated at 26, the recess on long projection 24 is marked 27, while the recess on short projection 25 is marked 28; these nozzles are shown threaded and are intended to be screwed into the holder but may be integral therewith.

In Figs. 12 to 15' inclusive, nozzles 37, 38 have an annular short projection 29, and long projection 30 is the top of plugs 31-32 the recess of 31 being a slot 33 and the re cess of 32 being annular at 35. In Figs. 12 and 13 the hole 34 passes through the center (more or less) of plug 31. In Figs. 14 and 15, hole 36 is a recess in plug 32 one wall of which hole is the inner wall of nozzle 38.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. In a liquid dispenser, the combination with a holder for liquid, of a nozzle having a continuously open orifice for the passage of liquid and provided with separated proj ections adjacent to said orifice and disposed in substantial parallelism with one another and longitudinally on opposite sides of the path of the liquid through said orifice.

2. In a liquld dispenser, the combination with a holder for liquid, of a nozzle having an orifice for'the passage of liquid and provided with approximated projections adjacent to said orifice and disposed in substantial parallelism with one another and longitudinally on opposite sides of the path of the liquid through said orifice, said pro jections being of different lengths.

3. In a. liquid dispenser, the combination with a holder for liquid, of a nozzle having an orifice for the passage ot'liquid and provided with approximated projections ad.- jacent to said orifice and disposed in substantial parallelism with one another and another and longitudinally on opposite sides of the path of the liquid through said orifice, said projections having a. recess in their ad jacent surfaces.

5. In a liquid dispenser, the combination with a tiltable holder for liquid, of a. nozzle having an orifice for the passage of liquid and provided with approximated projections adjacent to said orifice and disposed in substantial parallelism with one another and longitudinally on opposite sides of the path of the liquid through said orifice, said projections each having a recess in their adjacent surfaces.

6. In a liquid dispenser, the combination with a holder for liquid, of a nozzle having an orifice for the passage of liquid and provided with approximated projections adjacent to said orifice and disposed in substantial parallelism with one another and longitudinally on opposite sides of the path of the liquid through said orifice, said projections being of different lengths and one of them mounted for longitudinal adjustment with respect to the other.
